Course Description & Objectives
This is one of the three core courses in the Master of Communication in Digital Media program.
It seeks to enhance your critical and analytical skills, along with your ability to express yourself, so you can better understand the production, exploitation and consumption of digital media.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand a variety of research tools (traditional and emerging) and help you evaluate them to select the most appropriate for a particular problem
2.Define a research problem related to social media and develop an effective approach for justifying it and demonstrating potential solutions.
3. Effectively communicate your project and critical thinking through writing and multimedia tools
We will accomplish this by focusing on developing a research project related to social media. You will initially work individually and then we will form groups. Developing team work is an important part of the class, as it reflects the demands of any workplace.
